Aero-News Quote of the Day

"It is with great regret that we announce the cancellation of the 2020 Blue Angels Homecoming Air Show scheduled for Oct 16 and 17. This decision was made after considering all possible options, but was fundamentally a decision to ensure the health and safety of our personnel and the greater community. We look forward, however, to hosting the Air Show again in November of 2021. We know how important the Air Show is to the community and the Navy, but after considering every possibility, we felt that in this challenging COVID-19 environment that this was the most responsible course of action to protect the health and safety of the community and our NAS Pensacola personnel."
